Brazil legend Pele heaps praise on scintillating Spurs star

Brazil’s legendary striker Pele is one of the greatest players to have ever graced the game and so he knows a good forward when he sees one. And in his eyes, Tottenham’s Harry Kane is one of them.

The Spurs star has been in scintillating form this season and has just earned his first England call-up as a result. Pele has offered some advice to Kane and compliments don’t come much better than from Brazil’s all-time leading goalscorer.

“I think he is an excellent young player,” Pele told Press Association Sport. “He could be a good one for the English team.”

Kane added a further three goals to his season tally with a hat-trick in this afternoon’s 4-3 home win over Leicester City in the Premier League, proving once more that he is worthy of Pele’s comments.
